Swaziland's children
Half the population of Swaziland is under 18, and many have lost parents and grandparents to Aids. Bill Law hears how they're getting a voice through schools, and a ground-breaking radio programme.

Rainer Nolvak
Matthew Bannister talks to the Estonian millionaire who found that wealth didn't make him happy. Rainer Nolvak explains how he's used his money to galvanise Estonians into clearing up illegal rubbish tips, and how he's planning to spread his ideas around the world.
